This was the competition winning design to provide a major extension to the Deputy High Commission in Chennai. Its curved copper façade is a response to the detailed program. The extension is attached to the existing listed historic building and was built very close to other existing buildings. Following completion of the new extension, staff moved in and part of the existing building was demolished, all with as little disruption as possible.
